    I was re-arranging my study room and put my iMac on a chair, it wasn't stable and dropped to the timber floor, there's no mark on the iMac itself but some scratches on the timber, which made me think the iMac is tough enough, but then the iMac screen doesn't light up, I could hear the sound when...

    Photo Booth alternative for timed webcam snaps

    Hi. Sometimes for reference pictures to draw from, I take photos of myself, usually hands and feet, face, head, but sometimes I need to take a pose from further away. I've been clumsily using the photo booth app on my iMac. I get into position in front of the cam, try to remember where I need...

    Hi there, Researching for a friend that has a Apple iMac 27-Inch "Core i5" 3.2 (Late 2013) It has an internal 1TB spinning drive and she says it's slow - of course it is!
